Be honest with your self, How many Sky subscribers do you think would take up PREMIERSPORTS? Out of the 10.5 million TV customers Sky has how many took setanta? hardly any.

It will be the same for Premiersports, Sky sports and ESPN have enough varied content. I've just looked through the premiersports Facebook and can't find any "livid" Sky subscribers. I even checked the official Sky forums.

TRUST ME, As a Sky subscriber with Skysports 1,2,3,4 in HD Sky sports news in HD all EPSN channels and ESPN America HD I have enough sport.

I would rather pay for ESPN America than have Premiersports for free. Its a second rate budget brand.

Just to clarify my original post, it was SKY subscribers who already pay the Â£7.99 per month for Premier Sports who are upset at the prospect of XL Virgin customers potentially getting it added to their pack for free. I didn't mean every single SKY customer is upset.

You're lucky the sports you want to watch are covered by SKY Sports and ESPN. Fans of the Blue Square Premiership, NASCAR and to a certain extend boxing are likely to subscribe to Premier Sports to watch the sport they love.

What I don't understand is why a SKY subscriber who has no interest in Premier Sports wastes their time posting so passionately on a forum that should mean nothing to them? Are you just a SKY employee having a laugh? Are you just a troll who I'm feeding with this post? Gobble it down troll, try not to choke

Can someone PM me and tell me how to block future posts from this user? I have no desire to read anymore of this pro SKY propaganda when visiting the Coming Soon to Virgin TV thread. First person to help me will receive some reputation as a reward.

EDIT: I've worked out how to block posts from my pal myself.

Ah just seen your edit as I worked out how to do it.
If anyone else wants to know though, go on to a user profile, select the User Lists drop down, then add to ignore list.

Thanks anyway. It's working a treat. I should have done this sooner. I tend to feed the trolls around here but not any longer.

I wonder if I'm on any one's ignore list?

Anyway back on topic.

Does anyone know if the SKY Anytime VOD will also be accessible online via Virgin Media Player?

Just had a cheeky Google to find out, but have came across nothing other than the fact that the content is on demand via the STB itself.

Personally, I doubt that it will probably arrive on Player, but I could be wrong?

Gutted if it's not. The press release from the 04th June 2010 stated:

"Virgin Media will also have access to red button interactive sports coverage and the opportunity to deliver selected standard definition programming over the internet."

I assumed the programming over the internet would be on demand content. Not for the first time I may have assumed wrongly!

Thanks for the link. Plenty of good info. Also plenty of our site members seem to post there too.

just had a look at the premier sports website, the sport on there is awful, south american football, crappy american sports and some boxing of fighters no-one wants to see.

Give me ITV2-4HD instead of this crappy channel VM

Blue Sq Football, European Football and Boxing has more appeal to me than the ability to watch the likes of the awful Kerry Katona and Katie Price in HD!
Much admit I'd like ITV4 HD purely for the Sport.
